Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomA minor minus is that the room doesn't have a working desk (if you plena to work from there) but there is a place in the common space that can be used for that.
Staying here for a second time - the level of service, comfort and cleanliness as well as home-like feel never fails!) The property is a bit off the main road, best to have a car if you are staying here although Uber works well. Super responsive and accommodative host - very flexible on check-in time and helpful on any queries. Amazing staff at breakfast, the lady remembered the type of tea and eggs I was ordering from the first morning) super clean and neat rooms, comfortable beds. Nice shower with super hot water, no load shedding and perfect Wifi if you need to work. All looks exactly as on the pictures and even better with a super friendly retriever and neighbour's cat giving you a company at breakfast

SwedenThere’s no real view of the beautiful surroundings from the bottom floor.
The house is charming and the garden with the pool really adds to an overall soothing atmosphere. The breakfast was great, joined by the very calm and friendly dog Gizmo. We were accompanied by a very beautiful cat in the afternoon/evenings. We also like the “honor-system” of the bar. The rooms was clean and comfortable, very spacious and nice with a private little garden.

United KingdomThe only downside was that the Wi-Fi only worked downstairs and not in the bedrooms. We also couldn’t get the air conditioning to work.
The breakfast was very good and the staff helpful and pleasant. The large bed was very comfy and the bathroom had a large double shower. It was a bit out of town but it was no problem to get an uber.
